Now to the magical stuff.

The Wildlife

Just over 600 miles from Ecuador, the tropical region is world-renown for countless endemic species. So many fascinating creatures, in fact, explorers must watch their step when grazing the shoreline. Because wildlife evolved without natural predators for thousands of years, they are familiar with human presence. This makes for a surprisingly interactive experience. Trip participants can swim with sharks, play with sea lion pups and penguins or spend quality time with one of the area’s most notorious species – the giant sea tortoise. Some of the land-bound animals include albatross, red-footed boobies, masked boobies, and marine iguanas. And that is just a mere glimpse of the countless exotic animals that await guests on the islands.
